Hypocrisy wont bring FPM anywhere. Anyway FPM are more interested in their own popularity ( usual interchristian big-****ing contest) rather than doing something in this country. In fact the way FPM is approaching the country is going to lead to the collapse of the middle class, especially with someone like Bassil in charge. He is elitist to the bones. And by the way FPM might try to paint a good picture of themselves but here's the thing: at the very most even if I want to believe what Bassil and Kanaan are saying the lower class will not feel any benefits, the only thing in contention now is how f*cked in the a** they are going to be, protesters say 80%, Bassil and Kanaan say 25% only. Hayde el 2ossa killa, Also what hypocrisy are FPM using in building a country when big parts of the country are not under your control whether in weapons or more importantly in taxes. Its a big lie, so why not be honest with lebanese and say we want more taxes not to build the country, because we can never do that. And im not attacking hezbollah here, because its obvious what they want. It's FPM showing more hypocrisy here.
Lek just so you know selisleh is not even agreed on, yet tabacco tax for instance already was agreed on, the point is to tax. And the worst thing is that FPM and the government is trying to blame this on the people, for instance saying markets are raising prices. First traders are actually lowering prices not raising them, competition has reached so drastic levels in this helpless economic situation that many markets are selling some main commodities below than they pay for just to stay alive in the market. As for tobacco specifically, yes they raised the prices, because the Regie raised the prices. One day after the silisleh bill fell apart actually the regie had a meeting and decided upon the new prices and they immediately went on with their new prices. What audacity does FPM and any government official for instance have to pin this on the small dikkanjeh ? lol
Economy minister should go ask Berri why the regie went on with the new prices and ask him to pull it back. Bass this wont happen because FPM apparently prefer to bash the citizen and make sure he doesnt profit over Berri profiting.
